“Halloween is the one night of the year when all bets are off. Anything can happen” –Michael Dougherty

Every now and then a film comes along that gets it right. These movies make you say, “Yes! That’s how it’s supposed to be!!” and make you wish you had directed them because they are so in line with your own sensibilities. Trick r’ Treat is that movie for me. Writer/ Director Michael Dougherty’s declaration of love to all things Halloween perfectly depicts everything about the holiday we all love so much. Trick r’ Treat is simply the best Halloween themed film since, well, Halloween. Yet in a sense it actually is a better Halloween film for the simple fact that it’s all about the Holiday itself. This is why it has become tradition for myself and many others to watch it every October.

There are countless films that have been elevated to entirely new levels thanks to their accompanying musical scores. Whether it’s a classic such as John Carpenter’s Halloween or the more recent, dread filled synth of It Follows, a film’s score is one of the most integral parts of it’s DNA. Today’s interviewee, Steve Moore, knows a thing or two about this as he is the man responsible for crafting one of the standout scores of the past few years.
